Kampala — The youth in Uganda’s Central Region have thrown their weight behind Ivan Ssemuddu, endorsing his bid for National Vice Chairperson of the NRM Youth League for the 2025–2030 term.
Ssemuddu, whose campaign is anchored on the slogan “Here to Lead, Inspire & Transform,” has gained significant support from young people across several districts, positioning him as a leading contender in the race for the influential position.
Speaking during a mobilization event, youth leaders cited Ssemuddu’s track record of engagement, strategic vision, and commitment to addressing challenges faced by young Ugandans.
“Ivan understands the real issues that affect us, unemployment, lack of access to opportunities, and the need for mentorship. He’s not just talking, he’s doing,” said Lydia Nansubuga, a youth coordinator from Wakiso District.
With the elections set for later this year, Ssemuddu’s campaign has intensified, focusing on grassroots engagement and policy advocacy within the National Resistance Movement (NRM) structures.
He has pledged to champion youth inclusion in governance, skills development programs, and innovation-led entrepreneurship.
The endorsement adds momentum to what observers describe as a youth-driven movement within the NRM aimed at rejuvenating leadership and aligning party ideals with the aspirations of Uganda’s younger population.
If elected, Ivan Ssemuddu will oversee youth mobilization and policy coordination in the Central Region, a politically significant area for the NRM, which has consistently contributed large numbers to the national vote.
